How a project works

    Listen

    We talk about your story, audience, references and deadline. Every project starts with the feeling it needs to create.

  2. 02

    Sketch

    Sacha writes first musical ideas to picture or brief, so you hear the direction early — before anything is final.

  3. 03

    Shape

    Together we refine timing, tone and arrangement in clear rounds of feedback until it fits like it was always there.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Final mixed music, stems and versions in the formats you need — on time and ready for broadcast, stage or screen.
